They ran up the stairs into Dumbledore's office with Ron and Hermione in the lead.
"Professor! Professor! We need to talk to you!"
Dumbledore looked up at them with a grave face. "I was wondering when you would show up."
"How did you know we would be coming up here?" Ron asked stupidly.
"You knew! You knew all along and didn't tell us? You just let him leave. Let him go kill himself." Hermione screamed, tears still flowing down her cheeks.
"He had to go, it was his destiny. There was nothing I could do-"
"Of course there was you could have made him stay or go help him." Hermione yelled.
"No he couldn't have," It was Neville that spoke this time, "It was in the prophecy."
"What prophecy?" Hermione huffed, and then it hit her, "You mean the one in the department of mysteries?" Dumbledore nodded, "But I thought it was destroyed?"
"It was destroyed Miss Granger," He said walking to his cupboard. He pulled out his pensive and set it on the desk, "But I was the one who heard it and so I showed Harry his fate after many years of lying."
Then the ghostly figure of Professor Trelawney came out and recited the prophecy. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those that has thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
Silence filled the room as the prophecy ended.
"We have to go find him! I couldn't stand if he... he... died." Hermione whispered.
"Hermione, we don't know where he is. You Know Who could've talking him anywhere, and anytime for all we know." Ron blurted out.
"No Ron, Harry told me in his letter that he is at the shrieking shack." She saw his questioning look and continued, "I don't know if he's just trying to lead us on, but it's the only thing we got."
"I think the trap door behind the one eyed witch statue will take us there the fastest." Dumbledore said.
"How did you know about that?" Ron asked.
"You would be surprised at what I know."
When they reached the Shrieking Shack all that was left was a small pile of rumble and debris, along with a small crowd standing by.
"What happened here?" Asked Dumbledore.
"There was a bright green light and then an explosion, when it collapsed." Replied a villager.
They moved closer and started to look for Harry.
"I've found something!" Yelled Ron trying to pick up a large board. They all rushed over and uncovered the body of Lord Voldemort. "Well I guess we won." They all nodded.
"Wait, what is that over there?" Ginny said pointing to a faint white light shooting up the debris, "I never noticed that before."
They all slowly moved to and pushed away the rubble, and gasped.
